Comments on: Life’s Toughest Questions: 01 Does God Care? http://mosaic.org/2006/09/10/lifes-toughest-01/ A community of Faith, Hope and Love Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:37:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Kurt http://mosaic.org/2006/09/10/lifes-toughest-01/#comment-1760 Kurt Sat, 23 Sep 2006 16:28:40 +0000 http://mosaic.org/2006/09/14/lifes-toughest-questions-01-does-god-care/#comment-1760 I really enjoyed your insight on this subject. It seems like when I preach it becomes easy to focus on the external and not the eternal. In the midst of our wavering and floundering, one stays the same, that is the love of God.

I recently hears a message about John 11:33, when Jesus arrived to find Lazarus already in the tomb, that when Jesus looked around and saw the pain and the mourning of those around Him, that He wept. But he did not weep in understanding and compassion but in outrage for their disbelief. I know that everything that God does, even when he causes us pain, it is because he loves us. There are times that we must go through what we are going through, even as much as it stinks, we need to be "left in our loss." And then when we get the whole picture, it makes sense. Thank you for the words you spoke, as they are what my heart needed to hear. If I embraced that my God was outraged instead of weeping with us, I don't think I would like that, because that is not the Jesus I know. Thank you for the words.

Thanks for putting up the podcast each week. Even out here in Columbus, listening to Erwin has reminded me of everything I miss about LA that I lack here.
